  • Anthony Volpe SS | NYY

    Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Smacks three-run homer in easy win

    Volpe went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 9-1 win over the Twins.

    The speedy shortstop belted his 18th homer of the year, and he tallied at least three RBI for the seventh time in 2025. While Volpe has a middling .708 OPS for the campaign, he remains well within striking distance of a 20-20 season. Over his last 133 at-bats (36 games), he's slugging .436 with 13 extra-base hits, 21 RBI and six stolen bases despite a .195 batting average.

  • Taylor Walls 3B | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Placed on 10-day IL

    Walls (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    Walls has been sidelined with a left groin strain since Saturday, and he will now be forced to spend time on the IL. Outfielder Tristan Peters was called up from Triple-A Durham to replace Walls on the major-league roster.

  • Jacob Wilson SS | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Back to hitting

    Wilson (forearm) resumed a hitting progression Tuesday, Jessica Kleinschmidt of Baseball America reports.

    Wilson has been prevented from hitting since suffering a left forearm fracture in late July, but it appears he's now been cleared for full baseball activities. Assuming the 23-year-old avoids any setbacks as he continues to ramp up his rehab work, he could be back with the A's within the next week or two.

  • Josh H. Smith SS | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Smith: Logs two hits in win

    Smith started in left field and went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks.

    Smith doubled to kick off a four-run sixth-inning that brought the Rangers back into the contest. The double was his 20th and the run scored his team-leading 58th through 107 games. Smith has been seeing time in left field with Evan Carter (back) on the IL, but Carter is set to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday and could rejoin the club for a road trip in Toronto beginning Friday. That would put Smith back into a useful super-utility role, filling in wherever needed.

  • Zachary Neto SS | LAA

    Angels' Zach Neto: Belts two long balls in victory

    Neto went 3-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs, an additional run scored and two walks in a 7-4 win against the Dodgers on Monday.

    Neto began the Angels' half of the first inning with a bang, tagging All-Star hurler Yoshinobu Yamamato for a leadoff homer. He added a second solo shot in the sixth inning, giving the young shortstop his first multi-homer game of the campaign. Neto reached five times overall, with his final trip to first base coming on an intentional walk. The 24-year-old seems to be getting his power stroke back; after going 17 games without a home run from mid-July to early August, he's now gone deep four times across his past eight contests. Overall, Neto has produced a very solid .272/.329/.481 slash line with 19 homers, 72 runs, 48 RBI and 21 stolen bases over 100 games on the season.

  • Corey Seager SS | TEX

    Rangers' Corey Seager: Drives in a pair of runs

    Seager went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, a run scored and a walk in Monday's 7-6 victory over the Diamondbacks.

    Seager delivered a pair of run-scoring hits to help keep the Rangers in contention before they eventually walked it off in extra innings. The shortstop has maintained his consistent production in 2025, posting an .847 OPS with 16 doubles and 17 homers over 87 games.

  • White Sox's Colson Montgomery: Continues to showcase power stroke

    Montgomery went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 2-1 loss to Detroit.

    Montgomery lifted his 10th homer of the season, and he's now tallied one extra-base hit in three of his last four games. The rookie infielder has quickly grabbed the attention of fantasy managers since being promoted to the major leagues -- Montgomery is slashing an effective .241/.311/.565 with three doubles, one triple, 26 RBI and 16 runs scored over his first 120 plate appearances. After bouncing around the bottom part of Chicago's lineup, Montgomery has hit fifth in eight of his last nine outings.

  • Taylor Walls 3B | TB

    Rays' Taylor Walls: Absent from starting lineup

    Walls (groin) isn't starting Monday's game against the Athletics, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Walls hasn't seen an at-bat since Friday due to a left groin injury. The Rays failed to comment on his availability prior to Monday's matchup, so he'll continue to be considered day-to-day until further notice.

  • Bobby Witt SS | KC

    Royals' Bobby Witt: Will play Monday

    Witt (back) will start at shortstop and bat second in Monday's game against the Nationals.

    Witt sat out Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Twins due to back stiffness, but the day off was apparently all the superstar shortstop needed to move past the issue ahead of Monday's series opener. The 25-year-old is batting just .226 thus far in August, but he's still provided two home runs, two stolen bases, five RBI and five runs over that eight-game stretch.

  • Javier Baez SS | DET

    Tigers' Javier Baez: Could see more time in center

    Baez and Wenceel Perez are candidates to see more time in center field in the short term with Matt Vierling recently getting shut down with an oblique strain and Parker Meadows (quad) already on the injured list, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

    While Meadows could be back within the next few weeks, the Tigers are worried that Vierling may miss the rest of the regular season. With both players out for the foreseeable future, Baez could see a larger role in center field. The veteran has primarily played the infield throughout his MLB career, though he's seen action in center for the first time in the majors this year, appearing in 37 games there to date. Baez's defensive versatility has been a big asset for him in 2025, and it appears he'll receive a slight bump in playing time as Detroit deals with some injuries.
